We are playing great by the sound of it. Morris and Callum Phillips apparently having good games. The Morris/Stack partnership are very strong in defence. Lupton's try was from a great piece of skill from him, Walshy described it as a SL try.

Declan Hulme is a centre and not a winger.Hope he does ok for you lot though.

We needed a winger and the lads stepped up to the plate. I see Widnes are winning at London 18 - 0 at H/T

Callum's gone off with an ankle injury. Hope it's not too serious. Lupton was limping as well.
